* NoNameGiven: The player character is only one unnamed clone out of many. They're regarded as so expendable it's not even established you're playing as one particular clone, since every one of your kind is being put through the same test as you.

* NostalgiaLevel: In the beginning of the second game, you play through the first stage of the first game- that is, until a system shutdown. Then you (and a bunch of other clones) try to escape instead. Once you actually start the real first level, it's the same level, and you have to go and hack the terminal on the right. After you do that though, don't go to the left, because [[DamnYouMuscleMemory a laser will appear and kill you if you do that.]] You have to play a bit more level before it actually ends.* PressurePlate: Common puzzle elements. Weighed down by robots, blocks and player.* RedEyesTakeWarning: Enemies which notice the player, have red eyes.

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:If you make it to the end of all 80 levels of Stealth Bastard Deluxe, you're treated to a grim (yet darkly humourous) ending that emphasises everything you've done is completely pointless. As a fresh human clone, you work your way through the complex of a huge corporation, dodging death at every turn. A sinister observer notes your progress and both encourages and goads you. The game keeps the pretence of a reward for your character up until right at the end, at which point you are senselessly executed moments after a machine delicately retrieves your Stealth Goggles....which are then revealed to be the company's latest product given away free with fast food meals. That's right - you died alongside thousands of other clones in order to safety-test a toy! Worse still, company memos make mention of "clone meat" and "Clone Juice" ads appear in-game, suggesting the burgers and soda that come with the new goggles may not be the standard beef and carbonated beverage after all...]]

* BoringYetPractical: In the second game, the Inflate-A-Mate and the Adventure Light are just a throwable weight block and a light source, respectively, but they give you a ''lot'' of additional mobility and visibility.

* VillainousBreakdown: During the last set of test chambers in the second game, Malcolm gets increasingly frustrated at the clone's absolute ''refusal'' to die, to the point where he descends briefly into {{Angrish}} and trying to figure out if the clone is a manifestation of God.

Added DiffLines:

* BoringYetPractical: In the second game, the Inflate-A-Mate and the Adventure Light are just a throwable weight block and a light source, respectively, but they give you a ''lot'' of additional mobility and visibility.

Added DiffLines:

** The second game gives a name and identity to the one behind (most of) the texts: An overachieving employee named Malcolm Alderman, who put you into the tests as a last-second attempt to increase his QC score.

Added DiffLines:

** The second game sets it up so that it's one particular clone you're playing as (marked, once you get a certain item, with a red armband); though in cutscenes, there's usually a large number of support clones with him.
